While Holland is best known for its Dutch heritage and the annual Tulip Time Festival, there’s now a compelling reason to visit in the winter.
Just a three-hour drive from Chicago, the newly opened Holland Ice Park features Michigan’s largest ice-skating ribbon.
Holland features the largest ice-skating ribbon in Michigan
Opened in late 2025, the ice park includes a 700-foot-long skating ribbon—the longest in the state—along with an ice pond and a curling sheet. The park is inspired by the vision of the late Frank Kraai, who donated $1 million toward the $11.3 million project.
The park features a concession stand, fire pits situated along the skating loop, restrooms, and an indoor/outdoor area with picnic tables. It’s a place the whole family will love.
